    File sharing between two K13.04 boxes

    Having read previous posts on this I'm still confused.

    I've just installed a new 13.04 Kubuntu system and wish to share folders with another Kubuntu 13.04 box on the same wifi network.

    Adding
    Code:
    192.168.1.4:/home/bill /home/bill nfs rw,hard,intr,noexec 0 0
    to /etc/fstab where 192.168.1.4 is the other box produces:-

    Code:
    An error occurred while accessing '/home/bill on 192.168.1.4', the system responded: mount: only root can mount 192.168.1.4:/home/bill on /home/bill
    when selected in Dolphin

    I don't wan't to go blundering around in my new system so any help would be appreciated.

      try adding "user" to you fstab line right after noexec like "rw,hard,intr,noexec,user 0 0 "

      this will alow users to mount the location referenced by the line.

        Thanks Snowhog - got stuck because I don't have /etc/export.
        And what is meant when Vinny says have I set up NFS right?

          My new system start behaving oddly so I re-installed K13.04, checked in Dolphin and, under Network/Network I could see my other box and am able to transfer the files I need.
          I've no doubt this isn't going to completely satisfactory in the future but will do for now.
